coming back from my jog today i came across the familiar line of haddad's trucks. followed them to the outside set where i watched them film a few takes of clay davis coming down the court steps and making some sort of victory speech after apparently winning some case against him xD xD

Sheeeeeit, more Clay Davis! (xpost)
A while back I was talking to a mutual friend of the local rapper Ammo, who had a recurring role as "Spider" on seasons 3 and 4, and they said that he's been "caught up in the streets" to focus on music full-time, which is a pretty depressing real-life parallel with when Spider kinda blows off Cutty and stops coming to the gym.

uk fans, there is a charlie brooker doc abt 'the wire' on uknova. it was on fx the other night.
― That one guy that hit it and quit it, Thursday, 19 July 2007 13:33 (seventeen years ago) link
charlie brooker is about the last person i would want to hear talking about this show
― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 19 July 2007 13:35 (seventeen years ago) link
i'll watch it tonight and see. kind of know what you mean, but british television criticism is the shame of the nation and brooker is better than the others. i don't know who i'd pick in the uk to do it. well, other than penman, but i say that about everything.
― That one guy that hit it and quit it, Thursday, 19 July 2007 13:37 (seventeen years ago) link
ok i'm halfway through. it's bad. if brooker ain't the right guy to present, his UK interviewees are more wtf. nick hornby ffs. a lot of it is brooker talking to two random guys about life in b'more, seven y.o.s with aks and whatnot...
― That one guy that hit it and quit it, Thursday, 19 July 2007 19:16 (seventeen years ago) link
ugh! way to pollute the wire for me
― czn, Thursday, 19 July 2007 21:47 (seventeen years ago) link
they were all fucking idiots with absolutely nothing to bring except they were just about famous and liked 'the wire'. but they didn't have a single thing to say about it except "it's better than other cop shows". which is always a big cop-out (PUN). it was brooker on autopilot too.

RAPPER Felicia "Snoop" Pearson, who plays a vicious drug dealer on HBO's "The Wire," once served time in the shooting death of a teenager and made ends meet in jail by selling homemade sex toys. In her upcoming autobiography, "Grace After Midnight," Pearson writes, "It ain't like setting up a Starbucks in the mall . . . I crafted them in four sizes. Made them as real-life as possible. I knew my workmanship had to be solid or I'd get complaints." She was paid with cans of soup, packs of cookies, candy and, once, a joint.

It took me two eps to figure out she was a girl, but she god oddly cuter throughout the season. Or maybe that's just me.
she GOT oddly
― kenan, Monday, 23 July 2007 15:01 (seventeen years ago) link
Watching episodes with her after reading the article where her past was spelled out made her character just that much more creepy.
― mh, Monday, 23 July 2007 15:12 (seventeen years ago) link
More than creepy: frightening.

Unfair and lame. That scene's funny without a laugh track.

I just finished the first season of "The Wire" yesterday and had to rewatch select parts of the episodes over again. This show is poetic. This show is epic. Man, once I watched that chess scene between D'Angelo, Wallace (R.I.P.) and Bodie I was sold: "The king stay the king". This show is so quotable.
― youcangoyourownway, Monday, 30 July 2007 15:27 (seventeen years ago) link
What's poetic about that scene is how wrong Bodie is. :)

From what I've read, it seems that the season 4 dvd set will be out around Christmas, a couple months before season 5 begins.

One thing that strikes me about a show is the degree of respect with which the drug business is treated - like finally someone recognizes that this is sophisticated organized crime and not just a bunch of dudes in skullcaps looking menacing on a corner.
I know that's a strange way to put it, but I always felt there was a huge disparity between the excessive respect lavished on the mafia and the condescension to black gangs.

Just read in the current Esquire that Steve Earle has a role this upcoming season.

Did anyone see that Lance "Lt. Daniels" Reddick is going to have a recurring role as a villain on the next season of Lost? Kinda rad, especially since Lost and The Wire are going to be on more or less simultaneously, thus giving us a double dose of that guy.
